52F.  2 w/u, then 13.5 @ 6:53 AP.  Followed that up with 2 cooldown miles.  Ran with the guy from the race yesterday - he is trying to qualify for Boston at CIM.  I don't think he'll have a problem, as you only need ~7:03/mile.  This was good enough for me to count as MP as well, so I can adjust my schedule next week and do something else.

Nice tempo. And nice miles on the day. Kinda fun to get a workout out of the way early in the week.

"Only" 7:03? Well then, he should book flights!

Solid running again, Joe.

Matt - thanks - yeah it opens up the possibilities for the rest of the week.

Tom - didn't mean to minimize the difficulty. But I'd feel pretty good if I had just run 13.5 @ 10 sec/mile faster than goal pace. i decided now that that's what I want to do a little closer to the race!

That's a mighty fine run Joe......how are you handling the cold?

From SlowJoe on Sun, Nov 02, 2014 at 20:29:27 from 104.51.208.13

I think I was meant to live in Idaho. No human being on the planet is worse in the heat than me.
